[Solved]Behaviour of signature

Bill Woodger · DFSORT Moderator Joined: 09 Mar 2011 Posts: 7314

I always thought that the Signature from ones Profile would be displayed with all postings that one has made.

As a rip-roaring joke I changed my signature, for a few minutes, to Chump. I looked. No difference. I changed "always add signature" (something like that) to Yes. Still no difference to the existing post.

I have just discovered that posts I have made since then do have Chump in the signature. Whilst the irony is boundless, is this new behaviour, or because I had no signature (for quite a while) does that explain the Chump/no Chump appearance of my posts?

EDIT: I changed the Attach Signature in my profile, not the post by doing an Edit. Oh, well :-)

Yup, the signature presentation is dynamic rather than storing it in every post.

But when I look here I see no Chump, except on the last I just notice...

Thanks very much. I didn't know that.

Now I can ditch the Chump.

EDIT: You can turn them on and off with an Edit for an individual post...
